Treatments Offered
Diagnostic and therapeutic interventions by employing video-assisted flexible bronchoscopy, rigid bronchoscopy, thoracoscopy & EBUS guided procedures.
Lesions like benign cancers, sub-glottic stenosis, lung cancers are the obstructive lesions (tracheobronchial stenosis) diagnosed and treated by employing electric current to open up the airways and to stop bleeding.
Laser beam is employed in bronchoscopy for tumour debulking, to remove obstructions (stenosis) that cause shortness of breath with high precision.
In this technique, small balloons are passed through the bronchoscope to dilate bronchial tubes. This is quite similar to the way in which cardiologists perform angioplasty.
Airway obstructions are usually caused by tracheal or bronchial stenosis (benign or cancerous). To remove such obstructions, the airways are kept open with the help of a stent placed inside the airway, with the help of either a rigid/ flexible video bronchoscope.
Ventilation of the lungs can be achieved non-invasively (without having to put tubes into the throat) with the help of machines and motors that generate airflow at high pressure, which is then passed to the patients by means of face masks. This technique is useful for patients with breathing difficulties and sleep problems.
